I bricked my Kindle Fire HD. I now have a factory cable that brings it up to a Fastboot screen. But all it does it stay on that screen.
My ultimate goal was to put Jelly Bean on it, but I guess I wasn't smart enough to do that.
How does this cable work? And is my only option restoring it to factory settings?
What do I do? I have a hard time figuring out what directions to use because it seems like every website says something different.
The factory cable doesn't do anything but put the device in fastboot mode. You have to use fastboot to restore partition images saved from the 2nd bootloader instructions. Once your device is restored, you can start all over again.
Can you point me towards the best set of directions for this Fastboot? I plug it in and all it does it stay in the Fastboot startup screen.

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. It's just a bootmode that waits to accept a certain set of (fastboot) commands. The first thing you need to ask yourself is, do you have the partition images to restore in the first place?
I don't think I have a backup. I really didn't know what I was doing. My laptop recognizes the device as Tate-PVT-08. I have the Minimal ADB and Fastboot software, but that doesn't recognize it yet.
There's a system image restore script in the android development section, but you said HD and not if it was 7 or 8.9 inch. Pretty sure its a 7 inch since it says Tate, think 8.9 is jem, so here the link if its a 7 inch version. If that doesn't wanna work I think kffa also can help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Oh and ignore the stuff on step 2 about running an adb command, that's only for if Ur kindle is actually able to boot up all the way.

You may try to send it to amazon customer support center.
My Kindle Fire only show Kindle HD in 6 seconds and turn off after that. I don't know how to fix it
Anyone please show me how to resurect it
You need a fastboot cable. Odd that it shuts off, I don't think its a sign of a bad bootloader atleast, maybe a bad kernel flash or something. My post above applies to you as well, get a fastboot cable and try that utility. Think it should do the trick. Keep in mind that link is for the 7 inch version of that utility, you didn't specify which kindle it is so if its a 8.9 then post another msg because u might not need a fastboot cable and you will need a link to the 8.9" version of that utility.

Hello there. I recently rooted my kindle fire HD 7" (2 days ago) and have since been customizing it to my hearts extent. Yesterday I decided to install a custom ROM. It doesn't matter which one as I didn't even get to install it. After putting the twrp .img file and the freedom boot .img file onto the sdcard and installing fireflash, I ran fireflash as specified here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 ( I did not follow the backup step as it said it was not mandatory, I realize now that I should have). I have ordered a factory cable, however I would prefer if there were a way to unbrick without one. I am still quite a noob at this stuff. I looked around on XDA to see if I could find my problem (and solution) elsewhere, however the only similar problems to mine didn't have conclusive answers. If there is no way to fix it without a factory cable, a link to how to fix it with the cable would be appreciated.
More details on my issue:
Device: Kindle Fire HD 7"
Issue: Device turns on, stays for approximately 4 secs, and shuts off/repeats.
Extra: No backup has been made (except for a clockworkmod nandroid backup on the sdcard I made with an app a while ago)
I do not have a factory cable, though i have ordered one and can still cancel it. I would prefer not to use it though.
I have tried using the Kindle fire unbricking utility, though I assume that it is either meant for original fires or requires a factory cable (It usually says Error: device not found or <waiting for device>.
I have the Android sdk adb package installed.
Thank you in advance
Summary: My kindle fire hd is stuck on a boot loop. If there is a way to unbrick it without a factory cable that would be phenomenal.
Same situation, but I have factory cable...anyone can help?
You don't use adb commands with fastboot, also that command is what you would normally run to get into fastboot from an unbricked device, seeing as you have a fastboot cable, you don't need to run any commands. Once you plug your kindle in with the fastboot cable your kindke should power on and display "fastboot" on the screen. If it does that much, I believe kindle fire first aid can do the rest from here.
Edit: just to verify, when you said factory cable, you didn't mean the cable that came with the device did you? Because that's just a standard cable.

Just to make sure, Kindle fire first aid is for the HD correct? If so could you provide a link?
It works on kf2, and both hd's, anyways here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
I think you just need to restore the stock system partition.

Thanks! I'm assuming this will unroot the device, is that true? Also since my last attempt obviously failed, could you provide either a link or just tell me how I would go about fully backing up the system? Also would backing up the system have made a difference at all in this situation?
Thanks for all your help!
This doesn't unroot it, because in order to make that image it restores from, we have to have it rooted. Backups are very useful, especially your boot0 and data partitions. Your boot0 block is unique to every kindle and stores data such as your serial number and mac address and such, so it is always a good idea to back it up, and your data partition usually doesn't get messed up when messing with the system but its also so a good idea to back it up. The rest you can get off the forums, though be careful with flashing bootloader images from the forum, if you DL the wrong one or the right one and don't check its integrity by viewing its md5sum, you can hard brick the device. BTW the instructions for backing up your kindle are in that link u have in the first post. You just need to have a copy of adb lying around and know how to use command prompt. Kffa might also have a backup option, but I don't know what partitions it covers.

KFFA doesn't back up the data partition. It only backs up 11 of the Kindle's partitions, including the system, boot, and recovery partitions. I learned this the hard way. If you want to back up your data, use TWRP.

That's alright, if I ever do brick it again (hopefully I won't) I can just use Gamekiller (better version of GameCIH) to get back to roughly where I used to be in games, etc. and I could care less about my accounts and info since I didn't have much on it. (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about when you say "data")

When I say data, I mean accounts, yes, but I also mean app data, such as saved game progress or user settings. But hey, what you do with your data is totally up to you. I'm paranoid, so I tend to back up whatever I can
@stunts513, Hey, I just restored my Kindle with the factory cable and KFFA, and it worked! It had a little trouble the first time turning on, as it would show the logo for a while, the screen would flash and suddenly the logo would go again, this time animated, for a long time. I restarted it and tried again a few times till it finally worked. I hope this won't become a problem in the future, but for now thank you so much stunts for helping me with this! I'm afraid this is the end of custom ROM's for me, since I'm too worried about this happening again to do it. Without further ado, I'll get out of your hair for the time being, but again thanks for all the help.
100% same problem
Dude did found anyway to fix that? If you did please replay some details i need your help!!!
I posted this late last night after spending hours troubleshooting so sorry for the lack of details.
I thought I followed the instructions to a t on this thread. The only step I skipped was backing up my data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
When my Kindle Fire HD booted, it would loop between the regular Kindle Fire logo and the Blue logo. Eventually it would then go to TWRP. Once in TWRP I tried numerous times to use the Boot Option, Restore Option, and Recovery option to no avail. When I selected Bootloader, I would get the fastboot logo and it would stall there. I had to hard reset to get it to start again. Every time I connected my Kindle to the fastboot cable and entered the ADB or fastboot commens, it would say waiting on device. I also tried using the Factory Restore tool below and that did not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
When I connected the Kindle Fire HD to the PC, sometimes it would show as Android Device and other times it showed as PVT-8 or something to that effect.
Here is where I am now. The Kindle Fire HD no longer can boot to TWRP. It just looks the normal Kindle Fire logo and it loops indefinitely. My PC can no longer see the Kindle Fire HD at all. Is this a true brick or do I still have a chance?
BTW, I have multiple micro USB cables for all the devices I use. I am pretty sure the one I am using is the factory. How can I confirm this is a fastboot cable?
How did you get back to an orange only boot loop, it was easy to fix when it was blue... If it only is orange you are probably going to need a fastboot cable. Oh and to satisfy you with an answer as to why it boot looped, its because the newer amazon os detects the older boot loader or twrp, and refuses to boot, so you have to have a ROM ready to flash on the sdcard ahead of time.

Thanks. Anyway to confirm that the cable I have is a fastboot cable? Also, how would I go about performing a repair if it is.
If its a fastboot cable you would know it because you bought it for such occasions and because as soon as you plug it into the kindle it says fastboot in big letters. Once you have it in fastboot use kindle fire first aid and try a system reflash, I'm sure it would boot up without a doubt if you used an older version of the Amazon os, like I think 7.4.2 or older, but I don't know what version kffa uses, so if it still doesn't boot after doing that, try using the kindle fire system restore tool.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I ordered one from Amazon but will see about making one myself.
Are you trying to boot into Stock Amazon OS? That's your issue. Download a ROM and proper Google Apps package and either put them on your SD Card by mounting USB Storage in TWRP, or sideload flash a ROM, then you'll boot without issue. Don't forget to factory reset and wipe /system beforehand! I had this same issue my first time.

Why option 1? That is a different version of the tablet. You want to run KFFA and select 'completely restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3' This should be #3 of KFFA.
So once you have the tablet in fastboot, just run KFFA and go from there. Some files will download and then KFFA will push them onto your tablet. After that, your tablet will be stock and you can root and remove OTA updates from there. Keep an eye on your computer screen as the script will tell you what's going on.

So you're saying that you had a bootloop and you ran Kindle Fire FirstAide. Which numbers/options did you press? Plugging that fastboot cord in will power your Kindle Fire HD and send it into fastboot no matter the battery charge. Where did you get the fastboot cord from? A reliable source? I'm only asking because if the battery were low and the wire that connects pins 1 to 4 (think) that energize the Kindle into fastboot mode are somehow faulty, then this would stop the kindle from going into fastboot. However, if the fastboot cord is working, it would seem you have a hard brick. I will look around to see if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for help mate. I bought it from amazon and it seemed to be the most reliable source http://www.amazon.com/EarlyBirdSavi...ywords=kindle+factory+cable&tag=s601000020-20
I firstly reboot the bootloader couple of times like people suggested me. When that didn't help I restored it and like i gave a detail in other post that it took fair amount of time like 45 mins of reading and writing the .img files. Even the message was prompted that 'Your kindle has been restored to 7.2.3, the only thing is that all this while the display of my Kindle didn't changed and was fixed on 'Fastboot Kindle fire' logo. I was disappointed with this device from start due to that crappy kindle OS which made it way too slow and things kept freezing and crashing all the time. Since I am in colombia and used a freight service for this cable to be delivered, i ended up paying 30 USD for the cable. I don't think I will be sending it for repair , it just don't worth it the expenses for the repair and the shipping cost from Colombia and vice versa. May be will keep experimenting and looking on XDA if at some point of time hard brick issue could be fixed.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I can't turn ADB debugging on because there is no way to get access to the menu system. Is there another manner of fastbooting and of reflashing image you can possibly recommend to bypass not having access to the launcher? Again thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what is possible via fb other than adb. Try googling flash factory image & see what you find. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I also made a complete backup of my kindle before i rooted it which i have stored safely. but i need to know how i can push them to my kindle and how to make my laptop see the kindle.
I'm struggling now and pretty lost with it all if someone could lend a hand and tell me what im doing wrong

I am assuming you have a KFHD 2nd Generation (firmware 7.x.x). if thats the case, then follow these...
You will need a fastboot cable (aka factory micro usb cable) unless you have a way to put your kindle in fastboot mode. Get one from fleabay
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254&highlight=device+not+found and download the KFHD_SRTv1.3.5.zip utility
Use option 3 first to push recovery img to your kindle followed by option 1 or 2
After it completes, you will have rooted ver 7.4.3 on the Kindle
The thread also has links for rooted 7.4.9. You can dl those images and replace them in the utility folder (images) to get a rooted v7.4.9
The KFHD 2 is on a different version than 7.x.x.
